Rainer and Brown (psychology, Gardner-Webb U.) outline a method of crisis counseling and therapy that incorporates narrative, cognitive-behavioral, family systems, and experiential/existential theories. They note that no single theory or strategy can work in all situations. They provide a model based on crisis as "a perception of an event or situation as an intolerable difficulty that exceeds the person's resources and coping mechanisms." Their model addresses time constraints and the need to integrate the crisis to return to maximum functioning, with a time frame of six to eight weeks at most. They describe theories, profile an individual in crisis, and outline the three phases of their model: remembering the crisis, reorganizing the system after crisis, and restoration. They also discuss the effects on children and adolescents, and applications to three examples: natural disasters, sexual assault, and acute lymphocytic leukemia. The volume is aimed at students and professionals in the fields of psychiatry, psychology, social work, and others working in crisis intervention.
